Disturbing Influences Of '.Induction."

The chief practical difficulties in work
ing the telephone are due to the fact tha.
when an electric current is passing along
wire it has the property Of producing q
current of opposite character in any wire
in its vicinity. This is what is known as
induction. and it is owing TO this faculty
that the words spoken on one wire can be
overheard on an adjoining one. IL the
neighboring wire should be telegraphic

powered by its stronger neighbcr, and il
is difficult, if not impossible, to catch the
transmitted words amid the din-com
pared to the noise of a pot boiling-causej
by the telegraph.
Still more fatal to all telephone com
munication is the presence of an electric
lighting system in the vicinity Of tele
phone wires, the powerful current neces,

possibility" Many plans have been tried
for overcoming the unpleasant conse
quences of induction. the most successful
OF these being that OF using an additional
return wire instead of utilizing the 0afsh
for the completion of the .ciEc.kft. The
two wires are placed m close proximity
with the result that the disturbing influ-
ence is completely neutralizsd.-Iron and
